Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

They'll get as many minutes as Crean wants them to get. BSU is downright awful, and our front line is as thin as it can be. I'm pretty sure another forward went down with an injury earlier this week, and they were struggling to begin with. A 5th year sr, 4 year walk-on, starts at center.

Looks like Majok Majok has some talent, 6-8 JUCO transfer, and then there are two guards Scaife/Berry that have the ability to score from outside, but both are undersized two guards.

It will be ugly. I'll call it a moral victory if BSU scores 45.

And GU looked good last night, but hitting those 3s like that will make a lot of teams look really good. The probability of them repeating that performance is nil. Out of their 25fgs, 11 of them were 3s.

I agree with you. GTown is a top 25 team, but I was super impressed we won at all on a night where they shot like that. They had made 15 threes total coming into that game. They were playing way over their heads.

Losing Hulls will be a blow but I don't think everyone understands just how effing awesome the 2013 recruiting class is. If you thought Zeller was good as a freshman just wait for Noah Vonleh. Troy Williams and Stan Robinson are big time players as well. IU is going to have its most talented roster ever next season under Crean.

Perhaps, but you are losing a lot of outside shooting and veteran leadership after this season. I think next year's team will have more talent, but it won't be as successful on the court. We need shooters. Unless Hartman comes in and proves to be a dead-eye shooter (doubt it) or Etherington jumps into that role, then I remain concerned about this facet of our game. Zone defenses will eat us alive next year.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Remy seems to be pretty capable from downtown. And Oladipo has made great strides in that area, thats if he doesn't go pro. Will was a 38% shooter last year. If he can just get to that level it would be nice.

Plus as we saw last night Yogi can shoot the ball.

We will of course not be as good, but we will probably still have enough talent to make a team playing zone regret it, if we just move the ball and look for the open shot.

remy is one of those guys who seems to get lost in all the hype of the other guys. despite that, he just keeps doing good stuff. he is not some super-duper athlete whp makes the sports center highlights (although he is pretty decent) but i am very happy to have him around. oladipo- he has nba talent/ability but, i think he would be better served sticking around because his handles and finishing around the rim needs refinement. but of course that means little as to whether he does stick around and works on fixing those things.
one of the things players don't seem to realize when they jump to the pros is the is virtually no time to work on improvement except in the off-season.

I'm normally on the side of the NCAA, because I used to work with their staff, but even I can't justify their reasoning here.

If only a significant other of the investigator with the Perea/Jerkin case had blabbed about the case in public ala what allegedly happened with the Shabazz case.....

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

I wish I could explain the IU coaching staff's love affair with Cameron Coffman. It seems they're willing to lose to Purdue just to get him more experience as he prepares for his role as a benchwarmer next season.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

I'd can the DCs after that showing. Robinson or Sudfeld next year. Coffman should be in DIII.

Whatever alleged progress was made this season has certainly been thrown out the window. I don't think we'll be able to infuse the quality and quantity of talent it would take to make this D near reasonable B1G.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Coffman played fine. Threw for the same number of yards as Marve. Purdue CBs are decent. If you put it up 40-50 times against them, they will make some plays. The IU D is shaky, but Purdue is a better team with Marve. I am pretty sure IU would have won with TerBush at QB.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Coffman gets blamed for everything that goes wrong. The fact is this just isn't a very good football team right now. I think you convert Roberson to a do it all guy and have Coffman and Sudfeld battle for the starting QB job in camp.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

I mean when was the last time OKlahoma had a scrambling QB under Wilson? never?

I haven't watched NW this year, even the game against IU. Does he split time between QB, WR, and RB? That is an ideal role for someone like Roberson in an offense like ours. Keeps defenses guessing. Can you imagine a no-huddle offense where Roberson lines up as a WR and on the next play out of the backfield? Could be lethal.

Yeah that's the idea and he and Colter have similar backgrounds and NW plays spread as well so it should work IMO.
